Sorry for the late reply. AFAIU, you want some kind of progress measure for your task. In this sense, cookies indeed make sense as they are also a progress measure. The difference is that normal progress is computed as number of done headings + (optionally) number of checked checkboxes / number of todo+done headings + (optionally) total number of checkboxes However, there is nothing that is conceptually stopping us from counting any given heading not once but several times. For example, we can introduce a special properties like :COOKIE_COUNT: 2 :COOKIE_COUNT_MAX: 10 That will look like * TODO read book [16/101] * DONE read preface (contributes 1 page) ** TODO read chapter 1 with 100 pages :PROPERTIES: :COOKIE_COUNT: 15 :COOKIE_COUNT_MAX: 100 :END: :LOGBOOK: - [2026-03-29 Sun] Read 5 pages - [2026-03-22 Sun] Read 10 pages :END: -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
